Property Overview: 133 Laurel Ridge Drive, Linden Ridge
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This 2005-built home in Linden Ridge offers a balanced, modern package on a well-sized lot. Its 1,851 sqft of living space is notably above the city-wide average, providing ample room for a growing family or those who value spaciousness. The home’s assessed value places it in an elite tier city-wide (top 4%), suggesting a strong underlying value proposition compared to the broader Winnipeg market. While its lot size is slightly below average for the immediate Linden Ridge area, it remains above the city standard, offering a manageable yard with less maintenance.
The appeal lies in its combination of a modern build year, efficient use of space, and a value position that stands out across the city. It suits practical buyers looking for a turnkey, 21st-century home without the premium often attached to brand-new construction. It would particularly fit a family or professional couple seeking a established, low-maintenance neighbourhood where the home itself offers more interior space than many city properties, without the burden of an excessively large yard.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the assessed value compare to the likely market price?
The assessed value of $70,30k is for municipal tax purposes. The last known sold price range (2016) was between $500k-$550k. Market value is determined by current conditions, but the elite city-wide ranking for assessed value indicates a historically strong valuation foundation.
2. Is the lot size a disadvantage?
At 6,228 sqft, the lot is below the Linden Ridge average but above the Winnipeg average. It’s a trade-off: it offers a manageable outdoor space with less upkeep, which many buyers prefer, while still providing room for gardening or recreation.
3. What does the "Top 4%" ranking for Year Built mean?
On Laurel Ridge Drive, this home is one of the newest, built in 2005. Only 3 of 74 homes on the street are newer. This suggests newer major systems (like roof, HVAC) and modern layouts compared to many neighbours, potentially reducing near-term repair costs.
4. Who might this home not suit?
Buyers seeking a very large, sprawling yard typical of some Linden Ridge properties may find the lot size limiting. Similarly, those looking for a character home or a property with extensive renovation potential might prefer an older build.
